Roger Agnelli
Roger Agnelli is a Brazilian businessman and former president of Vale S.A., one of the largest mining companies in the world. He served as CEO from 2001 until 2011, during which time he was credited with transforming Vale into a global mining powerhouse. Agnelli's tenure saw significant growth and profitability for the company, largely due to strategic investments and expansion into international markets. However, his leadership also led to conflicts with the Brazilian government, particularly with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who opposed the privatization of Vale and sought to direct its investments toward national interests. Agnelli was ultimately ousted in 2011, amid political pressures, marking a significant shift in the company’s direction and governance.
